started with a bangla drink, and poppadoms, one spicy, one plain, with the 5 condiments, all good.
followed with the onion bhaji, very good!!
the chicken madras and keema rice, good.
they were happy to provide a container to take home what i couldn't manage.
treated to a hot wet tissue after, just what i needed!
and a cute little mint chocolate square with the bill.
nothing i can fault about the bay leaf!
Bayleaf has been our regular Indian takeaway for several years now. Always great and only ever had one mix up with the order which the manager sorted out immediately and with good grace. Really good quality and exemplary service.
Two of our party were delayed due to car trouble. So we asked for papadums while we waited but we were told we weren't allowed we couldn't have them until after our order was taken which is really strange. After I insisted he said he ask the manager. I have never encountered this before. Other than that the food was excellent and when our people did turn up the service was exemplary.
Will definitely go back.
When I first arrived the staff were very friendly and catered for our needs extremely professionally. As a vegetarian I asked if it would be possible to have one of the chef's specials dishes originally with chicken/lamb replaced with tikka paneer and the waiter had it sorted immediately. The vegetable samosas and the overall meal was of a high quality and very flavoursome. Will definitely be returning in the future!
What can I say? It's my go-to Indian takeaway.
It's very tasty and authentic indian cuisine and reasonably priced. Also very friendly staff.
Have been to the Bayleaf several times, this was the busiest I'd seen it and made for a good atmosphere. Food was lovely and only fault was they'd forgotten to take our drinks order when we arrived.
Good food and consistent taste each time not the best in Bristol but definitely up there I have no complaints what so ever keep up the good work!
Food always good, best Indians around for me.
Can't comment on the atmosphere as had a takeaway. Food was hot and tasty as always and there was plenty to go round our party. Thanks
A favourite of ours for dining in or takeaways. Good menu which is executed well by the chef's. Food always cooked to our taste using salt and saucy. I also must say that the prices are very competitive. Staff always very welcoming and happy for a chat, time allowing.
Best indian around. The owner Ali prepared us a special duck dish which was not on the menu but will be soon. My daughter had a fish curry which was also amazing and I had a prawn dhansak which never disappoints. Just love this place.
Stupidly, in a rush, ordered from the wrong restaurant assuming the first number that popped up from my search would be my local Indian restaurant with the exact same name. I realised when I showed up to my local Indian and they didn’t have my order… haven’t tried the food but the staff were lovely and didn’t make me pay despite my food being ready. Very very sorry!
We've been going to the Bayleaf, and getting take away from there as well for a few years, and it's a fantastic Indian. So much so that we've not really looked for other takeout places, as if we are in the mood to not cook, we'll just get a Bayleaf.
The staff are very happy to be flexible with vegetarian options.
The onion bajis are fantastic. Size of an apple!
Consistently good curry with good, friendly service. I think there's a good selection of different dishes but I always end up ordering the same thing so can't say for sure.
Eating in is definitely a better experience than getting takeaway. I think the takeaways are sometimes left sitting around which makes the sweaty naans less enjoyable than when you have them fresh in the restaurant.
Usually a good idea to book at busy times but the last couple of times I've been it had been quite quiet.
